Seeing Green to Horseshoe Cove (Gate 22) 2/3/2024

Meet at Wachusett Reservoir Gate 22, Rt 140, West Boylston. GPS address 167 Temple St, West Boylston. About 3 miles round trip. 

Snap out of the winter blues and search for evergreen plants. Discover the role of pine trees and arborvitae in the construction of the Reservoir and what green plants adapt to
the cold weather and provide food or shelter for wildlife.

Dress in layers with sturdy footwear, be prepared for windy conditions near the water. Bring water and trekking poles, traction devices, or snowshoes
depending on trail conditions, and your sense of adventure! 

Dogs are not allowed on water supply protection lands.

Hikes will be a slow pace and last about 1.5 hours. Hike may be cancelled or modified for weather and trail conditions. To check status and receive an automated message, please email Kathryn.Parent@mass.gov or call 617-352-4044.
